2014 A nnua l Re p ort ONE MEAL A DAY. Everyone has a role in ending hunger in our community.® Leadership Message Financial Highlights Dear Friends and Supporters, We want to begin by thanking each of you for your continued dedication. Fiscal year 2014 was a record breaking year at The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB). Just over 51 million pounds of nutritious food REVENUE was distributed throughout eastern Massachusetts – enough for 43 million meals. While this is record Individual, Corporate breaking for GBFB, it’s still not enough to End Hunger Here. 16.4% & Foundation Contributions $13,584,632 Contributed Services More neighbors in our communities are struggling and, for many, the situation is so dire that they are 1.9% & In-Kind Gifts $1,586,871 forced to make difficult decisions on a regular basis. Can you imagine deciding between paying for groceries and rent or mortgage, between filling a critical prescription and dinner, or between paying 60.1% Food Donations $49,706,843 heating and electric bills and feeding your family? As these trade-offs are made, overall health and wellbeing are also sacrificed. 4.6% Other $3,840,768 During fiscal year 2014, GBFB expanded in areas that we are proud of and that will continue to be a priority. Of the 51 million pounds of food distributed, over 13 million was fresh produce. And, some of 1.1% Shared Maintenance* $901,344 that produce was purchased right in Massachusetts from local farmers, manufacturers and other vendor partners. Thanks to GBFB’s Registered Dieticians who evaluate each product, 81% of our total inventory 16% Government Funds $13,287,464 met the highest nutritional standards. TOTAL REVENUE $82,907,922 Beyond food distribution, we also consider it our responsibility to be engaged community members. Through various nutrition programs, the GBFB Nutrition Team spent a great deal of time in the communities we serve providing nutrition education and tips on how to prepare different types of food. We focused on seniors by establishing the Senior Hunger Initiative and by helping them to complete and submit SNAP applications so they can benefit from this resource. The Child Hunger Initiative was also established to continue our focus on the one in four children at risk of hunger in eastern Massachusetts. EXPENSES And, when Revere was hit by a tornado, GBFB partnered with the Red Cross to provide an emergency food distribution to help more than 200 families who lost their homes. 91.9% Program Services $76,968,848 Over the next fiscal year and beyond, we are committed to continuing to work toward our strategic 2.7% Fundraising $2,297,015 objective of providing One Meal A Day to everyone in need in eastern Massachusetts. Our 2014 and future accomplishments are only possible because of our dedicated friends, partners, volunteers, and 5.3% Management & General $4,468,069 supporters, like you. Together, we have made a difference in the lives of over half a million people in need. Our vision is a hunger-free Massachusetts and, together, we can End Hunger Here. TOTAL EXPENSES $83,733,932 Sincerely, ENDING NET ASSETS FOR 2014 $34,666,251 * SHARED MAINTENANCE: GBFB receives shared maintenance fees Catherine D’Amato Woody Bradford from its member agencies in order to offset the cost of handling and President and CEO Board Chair redistributing donated food, as recommended by Feeding America. 1 THE GREATER BOSTON FOOD BANK 2014 ANNUAL REPORT THE GREATER BOSTON FOOD BANK 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 2 43 Millions Meals Closer to ONE MEAL A DAY At The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB), Team GBFB works diligently and passionately to reach fundraising, food acquisition and food distribution goals. Each year, goals are carefully set using data that GBFB mines and tracks through mapping technologies to inform how much food should be distributed where. The 2014 distribution goal was 48 million pounds of food or 40 million meals, and GBFB closed the year dis- tributing just over 51 million pounds – 43 million meals. EXCEEDING a goal is reason to pause and celebrate. Yet, those 3 million pounds represent an additional 2,500,000 meals – meals our neighbors need to avoid hun- ger. EXCEEDING our goal is also reason to pause and remember that we still have a great deal of work to do. Progress has been made, and continued progress will be critical to reach our strategic objective of providing One Meal A Day to everyone in need in eastern Massachusetts.

This is mainly due to the ephemeral nature of events and the inability to impose a centralized information system to all event organizers and target audiences. For the purpose of advertising events, Email is the communication medium of choice. In particular, there is a wide-spread use of electronic mailing lists to publicize events and activities.
